Long story, *might* have happened in Switzerland many moons ago :
Short gearbox, light 911. On a looong straight in the Alps, car maxed out in 5th (about 210 Km/h). Overtake one car, then 2 cyclists.
End of the straight, proverbial cop pops out from behind a bush…
Car stopped, window down.
- Do you know why I stopped you ?
– I might have been a bit fast.
– No, you overtook over a solid line.
– No, not true. The car I overtook where allowed, then avoided the 2 abreast cyclists later on the straight. I am not folding for that.
-Do you have your license ?
–No, it’s in my other car.
-Any ID ?
– No…
Cop gets to his motorbike, runs the plate, then comes back :
- that is 20 Fr for the no-license. You also said you were a bit fast. How fast ?
– oh, maybe 5-8 over…
- OK
Fine hapily paid. As the car starts, the cop leans in :
- I know what you’re doing with that car, but do it higher up the pass, OK ?
– Yes Sir !
Went a bit slower that day…
